Daniel Herskedal

Daniel Herskedal is one of Norway’s most distinctive and sought-after musicians and composers. With tuba and bass trumpet, he has created a musical universe entirely his own, pushing the boundaries of his instruments and shaping an expression that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. His music moves seamlessly between jazz, folk, classical, and cinematic soundscapes – always with a rare melodic sensitivity.

Since his debut album Slow Eastbound Train (Edition Records), Herskedal has toured widely internationally and received glowing reviews. He has composed commissioned works for the BBC Concert Orchestra and established himself as a sought-after film and media composer, earning accolades such as the Spellemann Prize and The Ambies in Los Angeles. His solo album Call For Winter confirmed his position as an artist with a uniquely personal voice on the international stage.

This solo concert offers a rare opportunity to experience Daniel Herskedal alone with his instrument – in a sacred space that adds extraordinary depth and resonance to the music. A meditative, powerful, and beautiful conclusion to Moldejazz 2026.

A unique solo concert experience from one of today’s most compelling musicians.
